Every four years, conservative "pragmatists" trot out the "We Can't Let So-And-So Win" mantra. Of course, the so-and-so in question is always the Democratic Presidential candidate. For all of my adult life, I have been listening to so-called "conservative" Republicans warn us of the impending doom that would befall our country if the Democratic candidate were elected. And this year is no different. This year's Republican primary did provide a wonderful aberration, however, to the usual choices between Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Republicans had an opportunity to nominate a real American constitutionalist, a statesman in the similitude of Thomas Jefferson or James Madison. That man was Texas Congressman, Ron Paul. Unfortunately, the Republican faithful seem to be incapable of discerning the marks of true greatness, not to mention fidelity to constitutional government. It is doubtful that most of them even understand what constitutional government is. And as for Christian conservatives, they can barely see any issues beyond abortion and "gay rights." To try and convince them to support a constitutionalist candidate is like talking to a brick wall. So, what choice does the Republican Party offer the American people this year? The worst of all possible choices: good old John "McSame" McCain. Let's be clear: a John McCain Presidency will be no better than a Hillary Clinton or a Barack Obama Presidency. In fact, in many ways, a McCain White House will be WORSE than a Democratic one. On many issues, there is virtually no distinction between John McCain and any potential Democratic candidate. John McCain is no friend to gun owners. He is no friend to pro-lifers. He is no friend to fiscal conservatives. He is no friend to property owners. He is no friend to "family values" voters. He is no friend to America's blue-collar workers. He is no friend to small business owners. He is no friend to opponents of illegal immigration. On the other hand, John McCain is a great friend to Big Business. Similarly, he is a friend to Big Government and Big Brother. He is also a friend to open borders, supranational government, regionalism, and American imperialism. But this is where the Boogeyman comes in. At this point, Republican Party lackeys will break in and say, "We can't let Hillary Clinton win. We can't let Barack Obama win." Even the favored son of the Religious Right, Mike Huckabee, has endorsed John McCain, not to mention Mitt Romney and virtually every other Republican "bigwig." (Thank God, Ron Paul has maintained his integrity by NOT endorsing McCain.) I, for one, am fed up with this baloney, because what we are actually faced with is not the "lesser of two evils" but "the evil of two lessers." (To quote a good friend of mine.) And the reason John McCain would actually be a worse President than either Obama or Clinton is because of the manner in which conservatives go to sleep whenever a Republican occupies the Oval Office. Furthermore, the next couple of years are "crunch time" for this burgeoning North American Union and related issues. America is currently facing the most serious threat to its national independence and sovereignty since the War of 1812. The forces of globalism have declared an all-out war against our country's independence. Illegal immigration, the NAFTA superhighway, the North American Community, a regional currency called the Amero, and "free trade" deals are just a few of the weapons in their arsenal. And John McCain will use every bit of his power as President to facilitate all of this chicanery. And, because McCain is a Republican, conservatives and Christians will sit back and let it happen without even the slightest whimper of resistance. If Obama or Clinton were sitting in the Oval Office, however, massive numbers of conservatives and Christians would rise in protest over every inch of ground ceded to these nefarious nabobs. So, tell me, who is the greater evil? I say it is John McCain. I realize that there are many readers shouting to themselves right now and saying, "So what do we do, Chuck? We have to vote for one or the other." To which I say, No you don't. You can think outside the box. You don't have to throw your vote away on either of these wretched candidates. You can cast a vote for principle and vote for a third party candidate. I can hear readers screaming at me now, saying that voting for a third party candidate is a wasted vote. I strongly disagree! Casting a vote for a person who you know is unfaithful to your principles is a wasted vote! Voting for someone who you know will keep our borders and ports open to illegals, continue George Bush's preemptive war doctrine, and facilitate a burgeoning hemispheric government--not to mention someone who will increase and augment a burgeoning Orwellian police state--is a wasted vote! At some point, we Americans must decide whether we will tolerate the continued sellout of our freedoms and principles or not. Will we swallow the shallow squeals of the establishment elite who think we are a bunch of sheep to be herded into their New World Order? Or will we stand our ground? Will we vote our principles and our conscience? It does not matter that the pundits and experts say we can't win. That is not our business. As John Quincy Adams said, "Duty is ours; results are God's." When will Christians, especially, quit trying to play politics and start standing for principle? They talk a lot about principle, but when it comes down to where the rubber meets the road, most don't act like people of principle. If God intends to give America another chance, if He intends to return these United States to constitutional government, and if He intends to preserve America's independence, it will only come in the form of a miracle. And miracles do not happen by the machinations of pragmatic planners. Miracles are just that. America was born a miracle, and it could now be given a new birth by miracle. If so, it would demand that people of principle start acting like it. That we cast aside the pragmatic, the reasonable, the sophisticated, and the expected. That we--as did the priests of old--would be willing to step out into the raging current of the Jordan River, knowing that either God would part the water or we would drown. That we would be willing to sign our names to a document--as did our Founding Fathers--that would make us either the enemies of the state or the inventors of a new nation. It means taking risks; it means doing the impractical; it means rejecting accepted wisdom and standing for principle. I am convinced that only a miracle can save America now. And I am expecting God to grant such a miracle. Beyond that, I am willing to do my part to place myself in a position to let God use my voice and my vote to accomplish this miracle. And if that means voting for someone who "has no chance of winning" in order to let God take the glory for whatever victory results, it is the least I can do. So, who will join me?

This nation was born from armed revolution, not from the ballot box. Chuck gets lots right here, but voting the monster away isn't the answer. I say choose the worst possible candidate (McCain) and let him bring us to a full boil. Buying time to stave off eventual execution is KooKy.

I have stopped caring about saving America. There really isn't much to save. A populace that is fat, stupid, lazy, and prefers letting their kids fight wars for Israel isn't worth saving. A new nation is needed.
God is always good!
If
the Iraqi people are too dopey to attack the real Beast that resides in their
neighborhood, screw them. America is doing what it does; colonize and plunder.
Israel is doing what it does; using our military for its muscle. If the
peoples of the Middle East want us out of the region, they need to take
matters in their own hands and lop the head off the Beast. Until they do so,
they can pound sand.
That one requires a British accent ;p

Will we swallow the shallow squeals of the establishment elite who think we are a bunch of sheep to be herded into their New World Order? Or will we stand our ground? Will we vote our principles and our conscience? People have sold their principles. Beyond hope. No nation will be reborn through this process, but I like the idea of shearing their 'vote'counts. That's about the only statement that can be made.
Over 4,000 dead troops plus untold wounded; the Iraqis have been attacking "the real Beast that resides in their neighborhood", but they're running out of rocks like the Palestinians.

We'll be in Iraq as long as the Lobby and Israel want us there. Tell me the last American politician who managed to forge a Middle East foreign policy w/o the blessing of Israel? Thought so..... That said, the Iraqis, Iranians and other nationals in the region need to do what we can't; to remove Israel from the equation. Until they remove the head of the Beast, I could care less what happens in their country.
Excellent article. I have always thought Chuck would make a great president if he would accept it (doubtful in my opinion).
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Preach it, Chuck!

Baldwin did run on the Constitution Party's ticket in 2004 with Michael Peroutka. I voted for them, and did NOT consider that vote "wasted".
No one should ever consider it a "wasted vote" when they vote for the person who will most closely abide by that oath they are all required to take. I believe Peroutka or Baldwin either one would do that. It is a wasted vote to go and vote for more of the same old, same old, when you know that they are crooks and only take that oath because they are REQUIRED to take it, not because they actually mean it. If I recall correctly, and I am pretty sure of it, Peroutka didn't make the ballot here. And they don't count write ins.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. They don't really care whether you vote. They do care whether you pay your taxes.
...Both methods yielded similar results, which support the previous findings; that is, of all modern human samples, sub-Saharan Africans again exhibit the closest phenetic similarity to various African Plio-Pleistocene hominins... It's almost completely useless trying to argue logic against Wasted Vote Syndrome. Too many people will continue to do so.

Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan and Back to the States, Yep. I believe that's why the last two elections have been engineered to be "close" -- so people would be discouraged from voting for a Third Party candidate. I just heard the other day that all polls are showing that no matter who the candidates are, the general election in November is going to be "very close." To my mind, that is engineered so people will feel like they have to vote for the lesser of two evils.
